Of course it's no surprise as that behavior is taken straight out of the
National Politics for Dummies textbook- find anybody with ANY link at all
(the more powerful the person the better!) no matter how tenuous, to the
problem and hammer them publicly about it and call for a resignation. If you
can get away with it, then you succeeded in causing damage to your
opposition. If you didn't get them ousted, then you have political fodder for
next election- "He was sooooo sleazy that he refused to resign even after
$EVENT..." It's a no-risk way to make the other side look a lot worse than
they really are and to score yourself anywhere from little to a huge amount
of credit and votes.
